Key points

  • The ASX All Ords index may be down but these two shares are firmly in the green
  • Pact Group and Redbubble released their 1H FY23 results this morning 
  • The Pact Group share price shot up by more than 8% in a significant outperformance of the index 

ASX All Ords shares are trading lower this morning with the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) down 0.67%.

However, these two All Ords companies are outperforming their peers after reporting strong half-year results.

Pact Group Holdings Ltd (ASX: PGH)

This ASX All Ords share shot up a whopping 8.4% this morning to $1.10 after the packaging manufacturer reported its FY23 half-year results. The company's share price is currently 2.17% higher at $1.037.

Pact Group is the largest rigid packaging plastics manufacturer in Australia and New Zealand with a growing overseas business.

Pact reported $998 million in revenue for the half, which was 8% up on the prior corresponding period (pcp) of 1H FY22.

Its underlying earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) was $75 million, 3% above the top of its guidance range but down 8% pcp.

Underlying net profit after tax (NPAT) was $26 million, down 33% pcp but "in line with the performance of the business and increased finance costs", the company said.

The All Ords business said the recovery of costs and volume growth had driven the increased revenue.

It noted increased demand for sustainable packaging and recycled products, new contract wins, and contract re-pricing of existing contracts during the half.

The ASX All Ords share will not pay an interim dividend, reflecting "the desire to preserve cash to allow the Company to reduce debt and continue its capital program in line with its Vision to lead the Circular Economy".

Pact reiterated its guidance for FY23 underlying EBIT to be slightly ahead of FY22 underlying EBIT.

Redbubble Ltd (ASX: RBL)

Rebubble also reported its FY23 half-year earnings this morning. The ASX All Ords share was not out of the blocks as fast as Pact Group but is steadily climbing in lunchtime trade. The Redbubble share price is currently up 3.19% at 48.5 cents.

Redbubble is an online artwork and design marketplace selling a range of products. The All Ords company reported a 1% lift in revenue to $343.8 million for 1H FY23 compared to the pcp of 1H FY22.

Gross profit is down 6% at $101.3 million and the gross profit margin fell 2.5%.

Operating expenses excluding brand investment were 20% higher at $63.6 million.

Looking forward, Redbubble CEO Michael Ilczynski said:

Enhancing the Redbubble marketplace's content quality and search and discovery is a primary focus for the Group to ensure customers can find products among four billion listings which appeal to their
specific interests and needs.

We are uniquely positioned to benefit from recent improvements in AI, which could revolutionize search and discovery of artists' content and greatly enhance new and existing customers' experience.

Early signs are positive and we expect to roll-out implementation of this technology at scale this calendar year.
